Visit the museum for the nation's largest celebration of heritage – Heritage Open Days – and a rare opportunity to explore the birthplace of William Booth over a long weekend.

Explore the birthplace of Nottingham's most famous preacher and social reformer - William Booth - co-founder of the Salvation Army. Explore the Grade II listed home and step back in time to see what a lower middle-class home would have looked like in the late 1820s. Find out about Booth's early years in Nottingham and the influences that impacted him and inspired him to lead a life of service. Learn about Booth's wife, Catherine, an incredible woman who was also a writer, preacher and co-founder of the Salvation Army.

Explore the museum in your own time and explore one of Nottingham's true hidden gems.
